THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK.
The Northern Pacific Election
Merit Month sUfH Large
iy Determine 1T.


Whether Camas prairie is to geF
railroad in the next four or Eve years
Il pends largely upon the result of the
Northern Pacific election which takes
,'lace next month. With a change in
he management of that road. provided
I is not captured outright by the Union
Pacific, an aggressive policy will be in
stituted by the building of branches of
the Northern into all the regions tribu-
tary to the system which have hitherto
been neglected. The Union Pacific,
through their control of the o. r. g. N.
and Transcontinental concerns, which
are all stock holders in the Northern,
are making desperate exertions to cap
ture the Northern, with indications ia
vorable at present for their success.
The Union people are evidently hogs
who want to own all the earth, bat in
our opinion there will be heap of fun
before they get it. The Union Pacific
ever since its lease of the 0. r, 4 N.
system has acted the overgrown corpora
ton and has instituted q series of OPP
preston upon the producers of the in
land empire that exacts more from them
than ever the old soulless o. r. & N.
used to demand. If this sanity crew by
any mischance should happen to get the
control Of the Northern country would
be placed under the heel of railroad
despotism more exacting, more arbitrary
and more soulless than any Of the
grinding transportation companies who
ever sucked the blood from the vitals Of
this people.
We hold to the belief that it is not for
the best interests of the people Of this
country that all the transportation sys-
TENS should be monopolized under one
management, so that the people can be-
more firmly bound hand and foot, and
robbed and despoiled of their wealth in
order to pay dividends upon the wat
cred stocks of these overgrown corpora
tions. The business depression and
suffering through all the broad acres OF
this land Of plenty is due directly to the
extortions of these wreckers, into whose
Golfers are gathered millions of wealth.
wrung from the people by Systematic
railroad wrecking and Initiating, 80 that
to-day the majority of the wealth Of
this great country is held by less than /
per cent of our population. All the
great fortunes of our day have been az
cumulated without honest industry by
these rascally railroad magnates.
The only show for relief in the out
look of our railroad horizon is that a
still hunt is progressing which may rev.
olutionize the directory of the Northern
Pacific and still retain it's influence as
competing system. In that event it is
safe to safe to cay that Camas prairie
will have narrow grage railroad to
Lewiston in twenty months. Ii the
scheme fails then we will have to await
the coming of the Manitoba road down
the Clearwater, and there is but small
hope of that for the next few years.
Meanwhile the country is here and it
will not run away.

TIRED TO DEATH.
Suicide of w. w. Medium, Well
known Printer, at San Francisco

Suicide of w. w. Medium, Well
known Printer, at San Francisco.
The San Francisco Examiner of yesterday
had the following reference to the death of
gentleman at one time we'll known in
Sacramento, and prominent member of
the typographical fraternity:
"W. w. Medium, foreman of the C,ron
| icle composing-ro went to a lodging
house at No. 239 Kearny street yesterday
morning and paid 81 for a room, saying
that he was tired. Tom Gordon, a lodger
in the house, went to Meldrum's room at
10 O'Clock last night and found him dead.
On the bureau was found bottle and a
glass, the former containing small
amount of liquid which is supposed to be
chloral hydrate, or some similar poison.
DIR. Galloway was called, and at a late
hour was engaged in testing the poison.
On Meldrum's person was found a fine
gold watch and various trinkets. Deceased
attempted to kill himself about nine years
ago by shooting himself in the abdomen
with pistol but did not succeed. Mr..
Meldrum was As years old at the time of
his death, and the cause of his suicide is
attributed to dependency from weariness
Deceased was well and favorably known
among the members of the craft all over
the Pacific Coast, and was one of the most
popular men in the business He held the
position of newspaper foreman in Sacra-
mento for several years before he came to
this city, and was always noted for his
kindheartedness and generous forbearance
with the men under his control. He leaves
widow and one child residing at No 81
Leavenworth street"
Mr.. Medium has always been regarded
by those well acquainted with him as
subject to peculiar attacks of depression
of spirits and restlessness, verging upon
insanity, and his suicide was the result of
his third attempt upon his life. He lived
| in Sacramento many years, and at one
time was foreman of the State Capital Re-
porter. He made the acquaintance here of
| Mrs. Turner, whom he subsequently, mar
| ried in San Francisco. A tragic incident
| in her life will be remembered by old Sacra-
| mentans, she having, it will be recollected,
| instantly killed Mr.. Turner with butcher
knife on Seventh street, south of X, one
evening, many years ago, because of jeal
| ousy, he having ostentatiously shown his
regard for another woman, whom he took
out riding that evening. As he left the
| stable, after putting up his team, Mrs.
| Turner met and killed him. A large
| crowd collected, their weight crushing the
| sidewalk, upon which at the time there
was cask of coal. Two or three persons
| received fatal injuries.)
| Mrs. Turner Medium died several years
ago, and he subsequently married again,
| the LADY and one child surviving him. All
the deceased's acquaintance and friends in
| this city will heartily indorse the reference
,, to him in the extract copied above.

Clunie Opera House,

The Edmund & Cooper Dramatic Com
pany presented the well-known and popu-
lar drama, The Two Orphans" last
night to fair house. The play is one of
pathetic interest and strong dramatic stu
atoms. 1t requires very large company
to fill all the roles with distinct PERSONAL
ties. The doubling" that was necessitated
last night, by limitation, was disadvant-
age IN the presentation of the play, but
that portion of ii done by Miss Woodthorpe
was so admirably accomplished as to be
wholly unobjectionable, and eminently
praiseworthy. Not so much can be said,
however, in the case of Mr. Lansing, or
acter, Louise" the blind girl, is taken by
Miss George Woodthorpe, competent
and talented young lady, widely known
IN California as an artist of home develop
ment She fills the difficult role well nigh
perfectly, playing with nice taste and read
ing with deep feeling. Sheis well supported
by Miss Wells, as Henriette, who
interprets the character with clear con-
ception of the probabilities and of the
authors intent. The Jacques of the
play is Chas. ]. Edmonds, well known
and popular actor, who gave the villainous
part with all its responsiveness fully devel-
oped. F. A. Cooper made an acceptable
Pierre, and Mrs. Edmonds a capital
Frochard, Mr.. Lansing as the Cheva-
lier interpreted the part with feeling.
The support otherwise is not as good as
Miss Woodthorpe and the play deserve
The people read their parts we'll enough,
but appear to be unable to simulate feeling
or the usual outward manifestations of
strong emotion. The play, however, GEN.
tiers upon the acting of THE Two
Orphans" and this is thoroughly good !;
the acting of Pierre Jacques and Frochard,
and these are up to good standard The
scenery is effective and the piece well
mounted. 1t will be given tonight for its
last evening performance. Tomorrow
evening Among the Pines" The prices
during this engagement are % and so
cents, with reserves % cents extra.

Sudden Death.

Shortly after II o'clock last night J. w.
VANDERBILT was sitting in the sporting
rooms at 1927 X street, of which he was one
of the proprietors, conversing with friend
relative to the mysterious murder of Mr..
Klumpp, when his companion heard him
make a peculiar sound two or three times,
as though trying to clear his throat and
nose. and observing him closer, became
convinced that he had been taken seriously
ill. The attention OF others was called to
the fact, and doctor was sent for speedily,
but before he arrived death had ensued.
Deceased was about IS years of age, an old
resident of the State and well-known
sporting man, but only returned from a
stay IN Eureka, New, two or three months
ago.

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness and Bay
Fever-A New Treatment.
From the Mail CAM, Dec. 10Th

From the Mail CAM, Dec. 10TH
Catarrh is a muco-purulent discharge
caused by the presence and development of
vegetable parasite in the internal lining
membrane of the nose. This parasite is
only developed under favorable circum-
stances and these are Morbid state of the
blood, as the blighted corpuscle of tubercle,
the germ poison of mercury, toxomna,
from the retention of the effete matter of
the skin, suppressed perspiration, badly
ventilated sleeping apartments and other
poisons that are terminated in the blood.
These poisons keep the internal lining
membrane of the nose in a constant state
of irritation, ever ready for the deposit of
the seeds of these germs, which spread up
the nostrils and down the fauces, or back
of the throat, causing liberation of the
throat up the eustachian tubes, causing
deafness; burrowing in the vocal cords,
| causing hoarseness; usurping the proper
structure of the bronchial Tubes, ending in
pulmonary consumption and death.
Many attempts have been made to cure
this distressing disease by the use of inhal-
ents, medicated vapors and other ingenious
devices, but none of these treatments can
do particle of good until the parasites
are either destroyed or removed from the
| mucus tissue.
Some time since a well-known physician
of forty years standing. after much expert
menting, succeeded in discovering the
necessary combination of ingredients
which never fail in absolutely and perma-
nently eradicating this horrible disease,
whether standing for one year or forty
years. Those who may be suffering from
| the above disease should. without delay,
communicate with Mr.. Dixon, ST., of the
firm of A. H. Dixon & Son, Toronto, Can
ada, who is on short visit to this Coast
and can be consulted at the Golden Eagle
Hotel, Sacramento, every Wednesday even
| ing. from to o'clock, and all day every
Thursday until further notice.
